A UPS truck driver is off the hook for $27 million in a crash lawsuit after a Texas court of appeals discovered a procedural error in the case.

A Ninth District Texas Court of Appeals panel recently reversed a trial court’s judgment awarding plaintiffs in a crash lawsuit $27 million for a crash they claim was caused by a UPS truck driver. The appellate court ruled that the trial was held in the wrong county.

Consequently, the case was dismissed, and an entirely new trial will begin in the appropriate county, allowing UPS an opportunity to pay a lower award or perhaps none at all.
